CHEAP e-waste
My nephew's school has been using the same Chromebooks for at least the four years he's been there.
How long do you expect them to last?
Exists complains about the Chromebooks for schools, they expect to last 8 years but that count when the chromebooks is made and not when is shipped to school and sometimes the chromebook only last a couple of years. Besides that the chromebook itself is not very friendly with the repairability.
@CapraObscura @ZeroHora
They'll last until either: the school stops using gsuite or some other company comes up with something even trendier to market that is cheap enough to justify a grant.
Nah ChromeOS devices have an "expiration date" after which they stop receiving updates and I suspect, stop working with their gsuite package.
@Rootiest
Huh, I am not surprised at all
